Tour Reviews

Joyce & Peter Buckman, UK
“To say we enjoyed our safari is an understatement, it was fantastic. We saw over 30 different animals inc. big 5. The disabled facilities for joyce who is a full time wheelchair user were excellent. We also visited sabine and alfies B & B which again offers 1st class facilities for disabled travellers visiting the cape area. Alfie, a big hug and thanks for a really memorable holiday. Joyce and Peter”

“...Just wanted to thank you all for making the trip really great - I had a nice relaxing time and Anne thought everything was absolutely amazing!!! Anne is already working out how to come back again!.”

Wendy Carr & Maggie Ramsdale, UK
"Highlights: Everything, animals, staff, fantastic experience, great bunch of travellers! Whatever your disability - you can do everything on this holiday beyond your wildest dreams. If you think you can’t do it, think again, and if you aren’t disabled - it is an inspirational holiday!"

Paul, Gea and Roan van't Sant, Holland
“...We would like to thank you for making it possible for us to do this great trip...The help and care from you was just great. You picked the right places to stay and the best spots to go to. We hope to be able to return to South Africa again soon...”

Jan & Keith Parsley, UK
“...what a great time we had last month, thank you Alfie for a wonderful experience...It was obvious that Alfie had expended considerable time and effort into developing a truly disabled friendly tour...Alfie's constant attention to detail, and seemingly inexhaustible energy that made the trip even more special...Once again thank you for a truly 'Enabled' holiday...”

Toyah Wordsworth, UK
“...I enjoyed every single minute of the holiday, it was an experience of a lifetime and one I'll never forget. I still can't believe that I was less than a metre away from a Lion or that I fed a Hippo which is something I never thought i'd do.
I'd like to thank you all for making me feel so welcome and if you are ever in England feel free to look me up. But I think I'll see you back in Africa first...”

Betty, Laurence, Pauline & Matthew; UK & Spain
"What an absolutely wonderful trip we had, so well organised and everything available for the disabled traveller, never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever be able to experience a real life safari, to be able to touch and stroke wild animals was a joy, especially holding the three week old lion cub.
I must pay tribute to Alfie's skills as a driver, chef and very knowledgeable guide and to the care he took to make life so easy for us.
We enjoyed every minute of it and given the chance I would certainly go again."
